Potrero Hill

Shot on San Francisco’s Potrero Hill, here are a few more images from my recent Athleisure shoot. We chose the location because it provided a strong sense of place with great views across the city, as well as vibrant colours from the mural which we used as a graphic backdrop. Shooting in high temperatures with strong harsh sunlight, we scrimmed the sun and bounced in available to fill. As a lifestyle photographer more used to working in London the heat make a pleasant change.

Crissy Field

Here are some more images from my recent Athleisure shoot in San Francisco. These were taken right by the landmark Golden Gate Bridge and recreation ground Crissy Field. Styling and makeup was handled by Californian-based stylist Michelle Rivet. It was a great shoot and and i’m really happy with the images - a great addition to my body of work as a lifestyle photographer.

Eni Aluko

Recent usage of a portrait I took of Eni Aluko which was featured on the front page of The Guardian recently. Shot at Chelsea’s training ground using broncolour flash, we tried a number of different set-ups including sports portraits, as well as action shots.

The Telegraph

Here are some images of golfer Charley Hull, one of which was featured on the front page of The Telegraph this week. It’s been an interesting week for golf, with The Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA) coming under fire for introducing a new dress code that forbids female golfers from wearing anything revealing on the course. This image was originally shot for another magazine so as a sports portrait photographer its alway good to see it make an appearance.

Ocean Beach

Here are a few images from a recent Athleisure shoot in San Francisco. We had a reccy day to scope out the best sites and shot these images on Ocean Beach to the west side of the city. Overlooking Seal Rocks, the shots were taken in the early morning, so that the beach would be relatively quiet. As a lifestyle photographer you can’t beat the light on the west coast.

Pacifica

Here are some images of surfers which I took for a personal project in Pacifica beach, California. We headed out there early in the morning, on a weekday, to make sure we caught the real enthusiasts. We scrimmed the light and shot in the surf using the shallow water as a bounce. As a sports portrait photographer is was wonderful to encounter the laid back California attitude - everyone was really laid back and willing to pose..

Evelyn Stevenson & Corinne Evans

Here are two previously unpublished sports portaits of weightlifter Evelyn Stevenson and surfer Corinne Evans, shot for Sport magazine. The image of Corinne was taken at Big Sky looking back towards central London. Sad news that Sport magazine has closed. They really were great people to shoot for.

Manchester City

I recently took a trip to Manchester City’s Etihad Training Campus, where the team’s youngsters are coached and moulded to hopefully make the main adult team, after a gruelling recruitment process. These images are featured in the March edition of Etihad’s in-flight magazine, Atlas. As a commercial photographer there were so many interesting aspect to the club to focus on.

Mark Foster

A recent portrait of Olympic and World Championship swimmer Mark Foster. We showered Mark with water and used high speed flash to freeze the water droplets as they bounced off his body. As a sports portrait photographer I am often tasked with coming up with solutions to capturing images. In this instance a paddling pool and watering can.

Peter Crouch for Sport

This was shot at White Rabbit Studios in Shoreditch for the cover of Sport, for a retrospective feature on Peter Crouch’s career, in anticipation of him scoring his 100th Premier League goal. Peter had a few days off, so we managed to get a very easy-going full hour with him for this cover and main feature spread. As a portrait photographer Peter was a delight to work with - there is a reason he’s know as one of the nicest people in football.

Louis Smith

Shot for the ongoing project Sport Uncovered, but this time we went on location and photographed Louis at his training gym in Northampton. We practised a few moves beforehand to make sure we got the right body positioning and used a harsh clip light to define his silhouette. Louis is back from a two-month suspension by British Gymnastics. As a sports portrait photographer I love working on location as much in in the studio.

Carl Frampton

These images were taken for a feature on Northern Irish boxer Carl Frampton, shot on location at his gym in West London (where he trains with Shane McGuigan, son of boxing legend Barry McGuigan). Carl was training in a sparring session, so we couldn’t use any flash. After he’d finished we had 10 minutes to take some portraits. As a sports portrait photographer I low the raw emotion that boxing brings to table.

Michael Page

An image of MMA fighter Michael ‘Venom’ Page, as part of my ongoing project Sport Uncovered. The light trails showing movement were all done in camera. Of his sport Michael says, "A lot of people are in the industry chasing something. I don’t chase it, I do what I do and things come to me.” As a sport portrait photographer I’m always amazed at the physical talents of my subjects.

Sport 10 Year Anniversary

A big one for Sport for their tenth anniversary edition; we went out to Madrid to shoot Gareth Bale, who featured in the magazine ten years ago at the very start of his career. We shot him post-training at the club’s extensive facilities on the city’s edge. The magazine was running a double cover edition so it was then up to Sheffield to shoot Jessica Ennis-Hill who I have had the pleasure of photographing a few times before. To give the whole edition a celebratory vibe Serge Seidlitz then illustrated across the whole edition. Some behind the scenes images too of the days shot by Naomi Baker. As a sports portrait photographer it was great working with Gareth and Jessica.

Sport Uncovered

Here are photos of ultra-runner Robbie Britton and golfer Carly Booth for my ongoing work with the Sport Uncovered series. I’m always looking at creative ways to showcase athletes in their ‘natural’ form. Carly’s extensive yoga training has helped her hone her technique for this incredible pose, whilst the use of space in Robbie’s shot symbolises the incredibly long distances he covers as a runner and the mental isolation he endures. As a sports portrait photographer its a privilege to work with athletes at the top of their game.

Fabulous Magazine

We shot a number of leading female athletes for Fabulous, in the run up to the Olympics. Smoke was used to add some GB drama. All post-production was handled in-house, shooting the subject and smoke separately for obvious health and safety reasons. Below is one of the finished images of Becky Downie, as well as a behind the scenes of the smoke shoot. As a sports portrait photographer its always so easy working with those who excel in their disciplines.

Sport Uncovered - Round Up

Here is a slideshow showcasing my ongoing project Sport Uncovered which is being shot for Sport Magazine. The aim is to show top British athletes in positions they would naturally adopt in their master sport, but also in the nude, in their ‘rawest form’. So far we have shot some of the leading names in their respective sports with new images being added every two weeks. As a sport portrait photographer I have found this whole series a delight to work on.
